About BoastThis year marks our 40th anniversary. In 1973, the tennis pro at The Field Club of Greenwich created an apparel brand for players who believe that sport is part of the well-led life, but not the only part. For forty years, Boast’s Japanese Maple Leaf logo has stood for that balance: excellence and integrity on the court, and the good life off of it.
